_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This evaluates the density of the Inverse Gamma Distribution at
     the value x.

_U_s_a_g_e:

        dinvgamma(x, shape, rate=1)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: Scalar location to evaluate density.

   shape: Scalar shape parameter.

    rate: Scalar rate parameter (default value one).

_V_a_l_u_e:

     The density evaluated at 'x'.  The parameterization is consistent
     with the Gamma Distribution in the base package.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'rinvgamma', 'GammaDist'

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     density <- dinvgamma(4.2, 1.1)
